I decided to finally take a look at why the passenger door window operation was so difficult to roll up and down after I replaced the outer door handle. (I also found I have to replace the door latch mechanism due to age and work parts.)
So I found that the area in red in the pic below was missing all the hardware except the stud from the roller arm. So I will assume this is the issue. Question: what does this outer roller arm do for the window up and down operation? The part
number from the 1969 AIM is 3919799 - all the original parts were found in the bottom of the window when I took the door cover off. Is this hard to replace? The only good news was the fact that the door itself had virtually no rust at all either in the sides or
at the bottom.
I'm guessing the assembly fits into the vertical "track" toward the front of the door...there is also a rear track with a roller assembly that fits into that track.
If the existing rollers wobble when you move them with your fingers, they need to be replaced. The window mechanism pivot point also need cleaning and fresh grease applied to make the window move smoothly again.

If the outer glass wipes at the top of the door are old, now is a great time to replace them, once the glass is removed. If you need them, use Google to find the necessary steps, on my 73, the restoration attachment “snaps” didn’t match the oem wipes. I used a Dremel to make new holes.
